I'm sure you can get back on track. I've been away for a bit too. I was 10 weeks pregnant and lost the baby a week ago. It's been tough but I'm picking up the pieces and now, more than ever, am determined to keep the weight loss going. Keep thinking positive thoughts and believe that you can =).

Hello gang! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm not doing all that great, but I'm determined to get back on track. I could use a few words of encouragment. I know I can do this, but as you all know, support is always a great thing to have.

Jeremiah 29:11 ~~ "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Hope you all are having a great summer. Mine has been very busy. With the extreme heat work has gotten quite busy, I guess people want a/c. The garden and grass have been growing by leaps and bounds, so trying to keep up with that is quite a task. My first harvest from my garden was good, okra, eggplant and belle pepper. I sliced, sauteed them with some olive oil, then put in a baking pan with some breadcrumbs on top and baked for a few minutes. The fruits (vegetables) of my labor were so wonderful.

Hi ladies, hope everyone is having a great week so far and and getting ready for the 4th. I know I am. 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. . I am also counting the days down till go to the beach at the end of july. . I have decided to join one of the 30-day team challenges. Hoping by joining one of the teams. I can lose maybe close to10lbs to be even closer to my goal weight.

Today was the kids' first day of summer vacation. I took 2 of my girls to the Y to swim ~ my oldest had to work and my son didn't want to go. Now the kids are all at their grandparents' for a sleepover.

Having a pretty quiet week. I cut the yard yesterday. 2hrs on a riding mower Now I'll be able to enjoy the rest of the week and weekend if it doesn't rain too much.

Hubby informed me this morning that I will have to start bring the little one to daycare since his worked has picked up and has to be at work before she can be dropped off. I don't mind the drive, but that means I have to leave earlier (when I would normally exercise). I guess I'll have to make time during another part of the day or wake up even earlier.

Good Morning. All the kiddos here are out of school already, but they start again the 1st week of August. I had a bad week at work :( I hope next week is better. Staying home today and getting things done around the house. Have a great weekend every one.

This week has been quite busy. My two-year-old decided to cover our tan couch with black expo marker. My ten-year-old had her orchestra concert and field day. School is ending June 8th -- which is very early for our region. Hope everyone has a fabulous Memorial Day weekend...T

Hi ladies, hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great week. I had a pretty good weekend. Just lazy days at home. I am looking forward to this weekdend coming up. Its suppose to be in the 90's all weekend. I am really glad to be able to have a 3 day weekend.

I also am having a pretty good week so far. Hope it stays that way. My 5yr old wanted me to get my bike out yesterday and ride with him. Keep in mind I probably haven't had my bike out in over a yr and it felt good. Makes me want to get out this weekend and go riding since it's suppose to be sunny all weekend. I may even get it back out and ride with him again today once I get home from work. Have a great day ladies

Happy Friday to all. I am so TGIF. My little one's Kindergarten program was yesterday. She froze up when she was supposed to speak to the parents. Then she cried for most of the program. Went to the doc yesterday and I don't have to have surgery; I am so glad.

Good Morning Team. I hope you all had a great weekend. Yesterday was just a busy as the weekend. But it was a good day. My garden is almost ready for planting. One more evening of prep work and I'll be ready for the plants.

Singlemom115 - sending positive thoughts and prayers your way! This week has lots in store for my household. My 10-year-old has a huge presentation on Thursday -- not sure who's more excited--her or me ;). My husband is finally home and started a new job today. So glad I enjoy my life!

Good afternoon everyone. It's been a crazy day for me. Even my typing fingers are tired and are ready to give up on today. I will have a busy weekend and I will not be able to check is as I would like. Keep up the good work everyone and have a great weekend.

Thanks for all the well wishes! We are recovering--my two-year-old keeps trying to repair his swingset. He makes me laugh =). Hope everyone has had a great week. Mine has been extremely busy and I'm looking forward to the weekend!! Enjoy

Titalia ~ I hope everything is ok after the storm and there isn't too much of a mess to clean up. I just got home from work, the big kids are at school and the baby is with grandma. I'm going to bed. Sweet dreams to me.

Jeremiah 29:11 ~~ "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

What a crazy weekend! Spent much of yesterday outside in beautiful weather gardening and weeding with my kids help. A major storm came through last night--several trees came down and one tree demolished my kids' playset! Guess I'll be getting some excercise picking up debris today. Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!!!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Saturday's going to be a busy day. The kids have a class at the Y and then I'm spending time with them in the afternoon before they go to grandma's. I'm meeting a friend for coffee before work. And if I'm lucky I'll get some sleep, too.

Jeremiah 29:11 ~~ "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Good Morning. Thing I find that help when I don't have the motivation to get going: -Find some music that gets me moving and clean the house. -Use smaller plates and no seconds. -Take a brisk walk (took a walk around the yard last night and was greeted by all sorts of wildlife good and bad but it makes the walk interesting) Once you make those first steps things will fall into place. Also getting a little exercise will help with reducing your stress level.

Bom dia! And that's about all the Portuguese I know. I know a few other things, but I can't hold a conversation. I know trying to lose weight is very frustrating. Don't give up! What I've doing is having a little contest with one of my friends. We each set up our own goals and keep track. We check in everyday and the winner at the end of the week gets a prize from the loser ~ something less than $10. My goals are things like: * don't be lazy * eat vegetarian * do some sort of exercise Set up goals that you can achieve, for example, pack your lunch for work. Or eat more veggies. I hope this helps a little. Just keep at it.

Jeremiah 29:11 ~~ "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Good morning from Brazil. I'm here to ask for some support. I've been feeling a little frustrated for more than 2 weeks. Work is driving me crazy, so busy and things are getting a little out of my hand and then I can't get to focus in my diet and exercise and I started feeling so frustrated and tired. Last night I was feeling a little depressed and I thought I couldn't let it happen so this morning I was feeling poor in bed wanting to stay there forever and I thought to myself "the only thing that can't me get of this frustration is ACTION" so I got off of bed at the very moment and started cleaning the house, I'm now cooking lunch. I know I need a plan to loose weight, can you share how you do it?

I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was nice today. The kids and I spen the day at a friends, enjoying the afternoon outside. We played on their new trampoline. I even got on it. It was so much fun.

Jeremiah 29:11 ~~ "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Happy April to you all. Sorry I have been MIA for a while. DH had some health issues then I had to go to the ER and am just starting to get back in the routine of things. Hope all is well for all of you.

Good morning ladies. Hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have two more days to go. . I am so ready for it to be over with. I am also excited for this weekend. I am a big nascar fan and the races are in town this weekend. I am going to the big race on Sunday and it is suppose to be in the 70's to. It has been in the 70's all week so far and hope it stays in the 70's and doesn't get cold again. I'm off to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a great day.

Good after noon Team. I hope you all are doing good today. I don't usually weigh more than once a week, but today was a goal date for me. So the result - didn't make my goal but I am so close just 2lbs shy. I am still very excited.

Hi Ladies, hope everyone has had a good week so far. Today is going to be a rainy stormy day. May even have tornado's I hope not. After the wild crazy end of winter start of spring yr we had. I don't think I want to go through that again.

Hi everyone. Just poppin in to see how everyone is doing. Not much going on today. The weather here in NEOhio is odd. It was so windy this morning and afternoon then turned into sleet for a few moments and now it is snowing outside. ODD

Hello moms, I had my son with a cold last week, he was well and got sick with a cold my daughter now, I am very happy to found you and will talk. Sorry for mistakes but use in English translated from greek to english and sometimes make mistakes. I understand well English but do not write well. So for the mistakes blame translator.

Hi Ladies, hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was pretty good. Didn't do much Friday other then go with my husband to del med's to nursing homes and went to TGIFridays to eat. Which he says will be the last time for a while we go out to eat. We are going to be remodeling our kitchen real soon I hope. Saturday we went and got grocery's and worked on my son's soon to be new bedroom. He is moving downstairs were we had our computer and were I exercised. So once he moves in we will move everything into his old room which I don't mind. We r have been working on getting room ready for over 3 weeks know & still not done. We took the popcorn stuff off the ceilings which I was so glad of. We have sanded the walls down & filled in all the nicks & places in the walls. So have to go over it with a sander and paint it and get it all cleaned up and hopefully get him moved in this weekend. Guess will see how that goes. I hope everyone had a great Presidents day. I had to work which sucked. Figured it would be busy. It did start off that way but then slowed down. Some people were lucky enough to get the day off and then there were probably some that didn't come in because it snowed Sunday. The first real snow we have had here this winter. But of course my part of town didn't see anything but a dusting but just 15 mins up the road they got over 2 inches or more. Well I need to get ready for work . Have a great day ladies.

My weekend was pretty sucky. Determined to make the rest of the week better though.

Tracking better today...I know it will take alittle while to get in the swing of things before baby so I'm not discouraged. Unfortunatly I tried to get 10 min in for two days now and both days were shot. Tomorrow is a new day so maybe I"ll be able to get hubby to keep the baby while I get my 10 min in.

Have a great evening! Gotta go get a bottle ready. My little one is about to get up and is going to be hungry quick.

Hi all!! Today has been busy (atleast it seems so). Baby woke up about 7am and I fell asleep and woke up on the sofa at 9:10am. I was suppose to be walking out the door by 9:45 to go to our first Girl Scout Cookie Booth but I was alittle late since I fell asleep. OOPS Well I'm off to track my food I ate so far. I know it isn't going to be good but atleast I am tracking.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the team but not SP. I recently had a baby and now wanting to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight then my final goal weight. I started this journey fell off the wagon got back on fell again. I finally got serious and saw the weight coming off I found myself pregnant. I have lost 28# so far after baby and now have hit a weight that hasn't moved for a few days now. My 6 week checkup is 3/12 and I'm hoping to get the green light to start working out again. Now to get back to tracking and stop puting the bad foods I know I shouldn't eat in my mouth.

Hi Ladies, hope everyone is having a good week so far. Mine thank goodness is almost over with. It will be over with at 7 tonight. I will have 3 full days off. I can not wait for it to be over with. This 10 hr shift I work is a killer.

Good Monday Morning Team. I's been a long weekend for me now back to the routine. Got in a good workout this morning now looking forward to a good day at work. I hope all of you that watched the Super Bowl aren't to tired today. Have a great day everyone.

Good afternoon team. This has been a really crazy week for me. We are living in our camper since our bathroom in remodel progress (it's empty right now) This weekend we are planning to put it back together, so we should be back in the house next week. I don't know how much I will be able to check in over the weekend, but I will definitely be back on Monday. Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi Ladies, hope everyone had a great day. It wasn't do bad of a day. Just a long day. Would think after working a 10 hr sch for a while you would get use to it. But I haven't. I sure do enjoy my long weekends through. That is always nice.

Bourgemom- Yes I agree. I love the idea of a all ladies/mom team and no mean allowed.

GOOD MORNING!! Even though I didn't start at the beginning of January, I intend to make February the month of me seeing my clothes fit differently, in a good way, like needing a belt (BOURGEMOM!!) Have a great Tuesday!

How is it going. I haven't been on this team in a while. I hope it gets more active on here. I have one day down at work and two and a half to go. Can't wait for it to be over with. Have a great week. I will try to check in regularly.
